Susitna River Lodging
Talkeetna
Located a short distance from the town of Talkeetna and set high on a ridge with views over Denali and the Alaskan Range, this rustic lodge consists of several log buildings with clean, comfortable rooms overlooking the mountains or forest. The large main lobby is a good area to relax, and it has a showpiece fireplace.
There are several dining options on site, including a bistro restaurant, a bar, and a coffee shop. The lodge has no real facilities to speak of, but it makes an excellent, comfortable base for exploring the nearby mountains and wilderness.
OUR OPINION:
Despite the lodge’s simplicity, we like its warm and welcoming ambience, good dining options, and views over the mountains.
